When your heart is breaking with stress, sadness, and struggles, you should consider what the Word of God says about having a fixed heart.

A heart that is fixed is a heart that is settled within and resolute without. It is not affected by external conditions and extenuating circumstances. David wrote four times in three places about a heart that was fixed.

Psalm 108:1 "O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory."

Psalm 112:7 "He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD."

The fixed heart proclaims its decision to God. 57:7 (he is telling God)The fixed heart promises to declare praise and song. 57:7The fixed heart participates in praise with all his worth. 108:1c ("even with my glory")The fixed heart is peace-filled in the midst of stress. 112:7 (fearing bad news)The fixed heart is pleased in God's ability to fix it all. 112:7("trusting in the Lord.")
